My project looks at the role of Dopamine in monetary reward. I try to identify which components of receiving a reward actually lead to dopamine release. Is it the reward itself, the novelty associated with rewards, or the motor actions involved in the experimental task? Apart from research, I love cooking, dancing on world beat music, meditation. I am also really interested in the prenatal health, and the huge and fantastic influence mother can have by their emotional state on their baby.
